The Mystery Behind Gilex Airlines’ GLX9810 That Landed In Tehran On Friday

As the West Asia teeters on the brink of a full-scale conflict after recent bombings and violence between Iran’s Axis of Resistance and Israel, a seemingly routine flight landing in Tehran has ignited widespread speculation. On Friday at 1:16 PM local time, Gelix Airlines’ Ilyushin IL-76TD, designated as GLX9810, touched down at Imam Khomeini International Airport after departing from Moscow’s Vnukovo International Airport earlier that morning. This otherwise unremarkable flight has captured global attention, especially on social media, due to the current geopolitical context.

Data from various flight trackers confirmed this information. But what is yet to be confirmed is the content and purpose of those cargo as the situation in the West Asia is volatile after series violent event in the region, and also the declaration of revenge by Iran over the assassination of Hamas’s political head Ismail Haniye in Tehran two days ago. The major players in the whole escalation in last couple of days include Iran, Israel, Mossad, Hezbollah and Hamas; in shorter words, Iran’s Axis of Resistance vs Israel (and their Western partners). Iran’s Axis of Resistance, or West calls them as Iran‘s proxies in the region, include Hamas, Hezbollah and Houthis.

The origin of the flight and its cargo have fuelled suspicions that Russia may be supplying Iran with arms. Moscow, which has strong ties to Tehran, recently condemned the assassination, warning of severe repercussions for the region.

“It is clear that the organisers of this political assassination were fully aware of the serious consequences of this threatening act for the entire region. There is no doubt that the assassination of Haniyeh will have an extremely negative impact on the course of indirect contacts between Hamas and the Israeli regime, within the framework of which mutually acceptable terms for a ceasefire in the Gaza Strip are being agreed upon,” the statement from Russian Foreign Ministry said.

Amid this volatile situation, GLX9810’s arrival in Tehran is seen by many as a potential arms shipment from Russia to Iran.

The IL-76TD aircraft, a heavy military transport model, is owned by Gelix Airlines, a Russian company known for its involvement in military logistics.

The specific plane, registered as RA-76360, has a history of carrying strategic cargo, particularly between India and Armenia. Earlier this year, the same aircraft was reported to have made multiple trips between Nashik, India, and Yerevan, Armenia. These flights were part of a newly established air corridor to facilitate strategic exports between India and Armenia, managed by a joint working group of two major Indian state-owned enterprises—Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL) and Container Corporation of India Limited (CONCOR). The exact nature of the cargo transported during these flights remains undisclosed, adding another layer of mystery to the aircraft’s activities.

Gelix’s clients include Federal State Unitary Enterprise State Corporation for Air Traffic Management in the Russian Federation, Ground Space Infrastructure Operation Centre, Fuel and Energy Complex Companies in Western Siberia and International Freight Transportation.

While the content of GLX9810’s cargo remains undisclosed, the timing and circumstances of the flight have sparked intense speculation. As the situation in the West Asia continues to deteriorate, the true purpose of this mysterious flight remains a topic of international intrigue.
